I guess that's one way to look at it, not overworking either hand.
OTOH (heh...), sometimes it's just handier (damn, can't escape it!) to
be able to use one hand for cursor direction.  That's when I move to
the arrow keys, typically when I'm about the highlight/copy/paste with
the mouse.

BTW, I know about yank, but that cuts text.  Is there a similar
function for just copying text without cutting it?
